As in the previous posts (see here, here, and here) I’m talking about my Aeon campaign and the various teams within it. State of the C-TeamC-Team has been a bit bumpy. Loss of PK (who was the team lead) and the speeding up of the timeline for them caused a LOT of dissonance. I also […]

Carpe Blogiem: Aeon Team Rosters – Part III
The current ongoings of my Aeon teams. But first, some notes for the overview of all teams. The State of the Aeon Campaign I finished up part of the technology file for Aeon itself. It clocked in at around 10k worth of words. Sigh. I don’t miss this part of speculative settings. At all. I took a […]

Happy GURPSday! So +Mook Wilson has talked about GURPS Discord on his blog and now I have to do the same. The unofficial GURPS Discord Channel is incredibly useful. There are dozens of users now and I’m not afraid to say I’m one of them. I signed onto the server as soon as Mook put up the link […]

So this is a first. I’m going to talk about non–GURPS on my blog for a change. In this case, the various flavors of popular Dungeons and Dragons. (Fair warning – I plan on getting into DnD5e next years so this is likely the first of such posts). The reason I want to talk about this […]

We’ve done so good, but I wish we could do more. So spread the word. Tell others. Buy games for people. We need to grow the fanbase of GURPS. We’ve needed to do it for a while, but I’m putting out the call now. I’m telling you that if you like GURPS you need to get out […]
Continue readingCarpe Blogiem: Thoughts on the Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter
Guest Post by Denis McCarthy As a fairly die hard Dungeon Fantasy GM, it should not surprise anyone that I am a big fan of the kickstarter. My dungeon game pre-dates both Dungeon Fantasy and 4e, and I have updated it as the new rules were released. In it’s current incarnation I have been running it for over […]

Guest Post by +Travis Ellis When I started blogging three years ago, it didn’t take long for +Douglas Cole to comment that the games I was running had plots that could be ripped from television shows or movies. I run games that are very plot heavy. My games that focus more on why you do something and the […]
Continue readingCarpe Blogiem: Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter is Now Live
So the new Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter is now live. Go back it. Seriously. If you love RPGs at all, this is the work of a master ( +Sean Punch ) – go get it. I have no idea what’s in it, but I do know that it’s written by Sean and that means it will be amazing. Note, […]

So it’s official: GURPS is sticking its toes into the Kickstarter pool. This. Is. Amazing. News. Seriously. Amazing. If you are a fan of GURPS and have complained over the years about Steve Jackson Games not using a Kickstarter to fund products for their RPG line now is the time to nut up or shut up. Even […]
